YWP is a diary that will always listen,will hear my screaming and my frustration,my confusion and my introspection.

A mask I can hide behindwhen I just need to disappear,where nobody has to know the backstory,who I really am,they're willing to listen anyways.I guess it isn't a mask-it's the place where I can show my face

YWP is a place where nobody needs context to find meaning.Nobody needs to know what I was thinkingor where I'm coming fromto find some form of connection,of solidarity,of community.

The last stanza of this is especially true and powerful. Your phrasing is fantastic: "YWP is a place where nobody needs context to find meaning." (So poetic,) and how freaking true is that!? With our crazy lives, emotions, fears, worries, personal details and desires and thoughts, YWP is most definitely a place for us to put these words and emotions and meanings and it's so powerful the way others connect with us and we all find solidarity and community. I think now I may be repeating what you wrote, but I cannot agree more. Thank you for articulating this so well!
